I’ve had a rough spell recently and only just now have gotten around to watering my plants again. I think there’s still some green left on this Peace lily but I can’t tell since I’m colorblind.
I would’ve took a before picture but honestly I just wanted it done lol

There’s still green, give it some time. They’re super resilient.
Yes, there is still green, so there is HOPE! Don’t overwater, especially now that the leaves are gone.
Dude… why is your entire plant purple
yes, still green 😊
As others have said, yes there’s still green left
Otherwise, recommend changing to plastic nursery pot as peace lily are thirsty af and Terra cotta pulls a lot of water out of the soil
Does this pot have a drainage hole? You might find it’s easier to bottom water this one for ease. Just fill a bucket or sink with water and plop it in for an hour, then drain for an hour..no guesswork, gets as much water as it needs
Yes!! There’s actually a pretty decent amount of green left! I circled in white where all the green is!

Terracotta pot is gonna slurp up that water , saw someone else recommend switching to a plastic or even ceramic pot instead (with drainage/dish) because this is a thirsty plant! very green as well, there is hope
Next time, just trim away the oldest (brown, dead) leaves. Leave the growth point where the new generation is going to generate.
With Peace Lilies, the older leaves (outside, lower) can be reluctant to let go.
Clip the unsightly ones, leaving 2, 3, or 4 inches. Leave a hand hold. After some time, maybe weeks, months, they will disengage from the plant easily.
I dunno why but this post is so wholesome and cute to me. It should bounce back OP!
Without knowing the degree of color blindness, I’m not sure if it’s helpful – but it might be nice to learn some minimal Photoshop skills and change the sliders around to see if it becomes a visible hue to you.
Yes it’s completely green so you’re good
My plants have bounced back from less. Just brown nub and healthy roots. Im sure there’s a good chance of a comeback, patience will be needed lol
